LITIGATION & ARBITRATION

GENERAL LITIGATION

Patton, Moreno & Asvat litigation experience dates back to admiralty cases tried before the former Federal Maritime Courts of the Panama Canal Zone. In its beginnings, the firm’s litigation practice was essentially focused on maritime matters, which allowed the firm to establish itself as one of the top Panamanian maritime litigation firms.

The firm has since evolved from an admiralty focused practice, to a comprehensive, general litigation and arbitration practice, including civil, commercial, administrative, constitutional, criminal, and regulatory litigation. Patton, Moreno & Asvat regularly represents clients in sensitive, complex cases, and has managed to establish itself as a relevant player in the field.

The team has ample experience in cross border litigation and international arbitration, and dealing with international firms and clients. The team is used to catering and delivering to the fast paced, multiple-time zone influenced requirements of its clients.
